Jammy's Soup

I have an older brother, John, who has two children and older sister, Erin, who has three children.  These grandchildren all call my mother "Jammy".  I am pretty sure the nickname came from my first niece, Katie's, attempts to say "Grammy".  Anyhow, one of Jammy's specialties is this soup which is perfect for a winter night when it seems to get dark way too early...  

1 small onion, diced
1 small zucchini, chopped into really small cubes
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
4 handfuls of spinach, chopped into thin strips
1/2 can of tomato paste
1 small can of fire roasted petite diced tomatoes
1 can of small white beans, drained and rinsed well
beef bullion cubes
2 handfuls of couscous
olive oil
water
Saute onions and zucchini until soft.  Add tomatoes and garlic and cook for 5 more minutes. Add 4 cups of water, tomato paste, beans, and bullion cubes. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 5 minutes. Add couscous and cook for 15 more minutes. Add spinach, cook for 5 more minutes and serve. Enjoy! Thanks Jammy :)
